Lloyds Banking Group interview questions

Hour-long panel interview after application. Questions were largely competency-based. They took almost three weeks to get back to me with a brief update advising me that I was unsuccessful, and no feedback was provided.

Interview process from about 10 years ago. First interview was a question and answer based on how you’ve met their values, which was reading off a script and even the interviewers were annoyed/not happy with it and I never felt like I could be my natural self. There was a tiny bit at the end to talk about my experience, what the job actually is, but about 80% of the interview was taken up with the dinosaur mandatory values questioning. I could really tell the interviewers were passionate, but I can see why they still struggle to recruit in Digital, given they still interview like the industry did this back when I first graduated 10 years ago. Maybe they should question themselves on their own values given the values are people-first (they made people redundant this year, despite profit), sustainability (they still heavily invest in fossil fuels), inclusive (fair few discrimination cases), trust (cutting jobs in risk management) and bold (they don’t even work using agile methodologies, but use SAFe, which is waterfall disguised as agile).
